DIAC-2008 is Coming!

On June 26-29 on the UC Berkeley campus, CPSR will be hosting its 11th Directions and Implications of Advanced Computing symposium. As in 2005 we are teaming up with the Online Deliberation conference. The Information School at Berkeley is also a sponsor and their building will be the hub for the DIAC-2008 / OD-2008 event.

The theme this year is "Tools for Participation: Collaboration, Deliberation, and Decision Support."

The roles and functions of the Forum are set out in paragraphs 72-79 of the "Tunis Agenda for the Information Society". Briefly, its main purpose will be to discuss a wide range of issues related to Internet Governance, and, where appropriate, to make recommendations to the international community. The working and function of the Forum will be multilateral, multi-stakeholder, democratic and transparent.
